Vi har i denna studie ämnat kartlägga hur begreppet personligt varumärke används för att återuppbygga och stärka ett personligt varumärke på Twitter av mediepersonligheter med ett comebacksyfte. Studiens teoretiska ramverk har grundats i varumärkesteorier, Erving Goffmans dramaturgiska vardagslivsperspektiv samt forskning inom begreppet personligt varumärke. Utifrån en netnografisk metod har vi samlat in och analyserat inlägg från utvalda mediepersonligheters Twitterkonto. Det empiriska materialet har bestått av en kvantitativ mängd data och därmed presenterats på ett kvantitativt sätt. Den netnografiska metoden har resulterat i en analysmodell som i sin tur har hjälpt oss analysera våra resultat utifrån olika kategorier. Analysen av våra resultat har däremot utgått ifrån en kvalitativ ansats för att förstå hur mediepersonligheterna väljer att kommunicera i sina tweets. Slutsatser Vår studie har visat på att det finns ett samband mellan det som tas upp inom begreppet personligt varumärke och mediepersonligheternas kommunikation på Twitter. Vi har utifrån vår studie dragit slutsatsen att fler följare på Twitter inte är synonymt med mest väletablerat personligt varumärke och professionellt rykte. Vidare har vi kunnat konstatera att även om en mediepersonlighets kommunikation följer principerna för att bygga ett starkt personligt varumärke men ändå inte har ett starkt varumärke betyder inte det att det ej kan stärkas med tiden. Vi har också kunnat dra slutsatsen att den personliga delen av kommunikationen, den som skapar en känsla av autenticitet och ärlighet, bör användas oftare än den säljande, ju större behovet är av att återskapa förtroende för sin publik eller stärka sitt rykte.

The purpose of this descriptive correlational study was to examine the comeback phase of the Trajectory of Chronic Illness Management for Appalachian women stroke survivors. This study predicted comeback as a relationship between physical healing, biographical reengagement, and psychological coming to terms that was mediated by rehabilitation. The concepts were evaluated through investigation of function and cognitive abilities, self-assessment of recovery, health rating, ability to control life, relationship changes, physical and mental health, and limitations of activities due to poor physical or mental health. Data were collected using, the Stroke Impact Scale (3.0) (Duncan, Bode, Lia, & Perera, 2003), the Relationship Change Scale (Guerney, 1971), and the Health-Related-Quality-of-Life-4 Scale (Morarity, Zack, & Kobau, 2003). Descriptive statistics summarized patient characteristics. Continuous variables were analyzed using bivariate relationships expressed as Pearson correlation coefficients. The difference between groups (stroke severity and stroke type) and measurement variables were analyzed using independent ttest and ANOVA. Multiple linear regressions were completed to evaluate simultaneous effects of the independent variables. Forty-six English-speaking, Caucasian women ages 40-78 who had experienced stroke at least 1 year prior to enrollment and were independently living in their home environment participated. The mean age was 57 years with survivorship ranging from 1 to 36 years. Function and cognition scores were similar to the established test range for the SIS V 3.0. Women with moderate ischemic stroke scored statistically higher for recovery score (p Study findings suggest comeback can be predicted by the theoretical propositions of the Trajectory Theory of Chronic Illness Management: physical healing, biographical reengagement, and psychologically coming to terms (Corbin & Strauss, 1991). A strong relationship exists among the phases representative of comeback, while rehabilitation procedures and interpersonal relationships demonstrated only modest significance.

Diploma thesis named "Biblical parables and its artistic interpretation" consists of two parts theoretical part and practical part. The goal of the theoretical part is to compare biblical story from the Old Testament with a New Testament parable, describe and explain all fundamental symbols found in these narratives. The first part of the diploma thesis describes the origin of Bible and Bible in general. The story of Sacrificing of Isaac is chosen from the Old Testament and parable of Prodigal son is chosen from the New Testament. The theoretical part deals with description of both narratives and the symbols involved in them and also artists who were inspired by the Book of books in their work. In the practical part findings form theoretical part will be applied to create free graphical papers using linocut and woodcut techniques with the Prodigal son comeback theme.
